I'm using Windows7, I have cf setup, my app has been migrated to Diego and I can ssh into my app (cf ssh APPNAME). I can run scp within my ssh but I don't know what options to use.
From what I can tell, scp expects the target machine to have ssh running. So if I was connnected to Bluemix from a Linux box, the target would be my local box and a user that had ssh access. Since I'm running windows, that's not available by default.
If all of that is true, then I think I have a few options:
- use Linux instead
- install ssh into windows
- possibly use something like winscp but I'm not sure if bluemix can only be accessed via the 'cf ssh' command
thoughts/ideas?
You should be able to use something like WinSCP to transfer files. You'll need to get a few things using the CF CLI first.
- get the app guid from the command (where
<app_name>
represents the name of your app):
cf app <app_name> --guid
- get a one-time ssh code:
cf ssh-code
Next, find the appropriate endpoint for your Bluemix region:
- ssh.ng.bluemix.net:2222 for US South
- ssh.eu-gb.bluemix.net:2222 for United Kingdom
- ssh.au-syd.bluemix.net:2222 for Sydney
In WinSCP (or similar tool), use SCP file protocol, set the username to cf:<guid>/<app_instance>
where <guid>
is the guid from the above commands and <app_instance>
is the instance number of your app (0 if your app only has one instance). Set the host/port according to the host/port shown above for your Bluemix region, and set the password to your ssh-code from the cf ssh-code
command.
You will then be able to login, remember that the ssh-code is one-time use so you'll need to regenerate that part every time you connect.
